As a testament to the power of TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, WENN reports that the new Edward Cullen film has sold out 2,150 screenings a full three days before it opens.  200 of those are in New York and Los Angeles alone, WENN states, quoting Movietickets.com as its source.  Personally, I have a large group of relatives-- all female-- who have pre-ordered for the midnight show on Friday.  I'm not exactly upset that none of them thought to order me a ticket.

It looks as if NEW MOON will knock 2012 out of the top slot at the box office a mere one week after its release.  THE TWILIGHT SAGA has become a hype machine, and I wouldn't be surprised if this entry outsells the last.  Whether you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, you've likely already got a ticket for this Friday, and you can take pride in destroying the apocalypse and replacing it with a vampire plague.
